Islam - a new kid on the block

I cannot understand the thick skinned attitude of many muslims. They read only one book, associate with only their own kind, inward and narrow-minded, think they are God's gift to humanity, chosen people of God, everyone else is inferior or misled, brainwash their children, selfish and only contribute to charity for muslims, won't allow non-muslims to the kaaba. These are but a few. Muslims then talk of a peaceful, merciful and beneficial God. Ironically, on the day that Israel bombed Gaza, a Sunni muslim suicide bomber killed 40 Shiate mulim pilgrims in Baghdad. Why didn't muslims in London also organise a march against this atrocity, like they did to the Israeli embassy. If God is muslim then the non-muslims will not bear children. So stop the irrationality that young people possess and start learning from the wisdom of the older religions. Remember the meek shall inherit the earth.
